In a world of legend, mighty warriors, wizened mages, and savage monsters struggle for supremacy. Ranks of noble Elves in shining armour battle ravaging armies of Orcs and Goblins; grim Dwarfs defend their mountain strongholds from the insidious rat-like Skaven; and the formidable armies of Man hold firm against the mutated minions of Chaos. This is the Warhammer World, a realm of grim adventure, where only the strongest survive.
Warhammer is a tabletop wargame of fantasy battles, played by two or more people. You can play small-scale skirmish games involving 20 or 30 models a side, up to massed battles that pit armies of hundreds of models against each other. Rules that govern how the models move and fight are contained in the Warhammer rulebook. Players choose and collect armies of models that are described in separate Warhammer army books. A huge range of models is also available from Citadel Miniatures, in metal and in plastic.
History of the Vampires...
Vampires originate from an ancient elixer of life. Nagash, the great necromancer created a magical potion (elixer of life) which granted eternal life. However several people knew about this potion and stole it from Nagash. Seven of these unfortunant souls drank this magical brew, which slowly turned them from humans into immortal vampires. After countless raveging and killing of innocent souls, these seven vampires were found by Nagash's legions of undead. The seven vampires and their forces fought for many days against Nagash and after some time 4 of the vampires accepted defeat and become under the rule of Nagash and what happened to the other 3, nobody knows. The 4 feared vampires that are now well known by the men, elves and dwarfs of the old world are- the Von Carstiens, the Necharchs, the Lahmias and the Blood Dragons.
